Diary of a Nudist

The Film follows a reporter (Davee Decker) as she infiltrates a nudist colony in the hopes of exposing its immoral ways.
However, once there, she finds herself enjoying it a little bit more than she anticipated.

This Film was extremely controversial in 1961 today, films like this are considered to be curiosity pieces.

Film stars Vicky Miles as Bunny Downe ... who's boss at the newspaper where she worked sends her out to get the "Truth" about a local nudist camp ... intending to expose a far more Scandalous operation and to expose the members of the club as a bunch of sex-crazed weirdos ...Lots of pretty girls showing a Lot of T&A for the 50's. The editor of the newspaper goes out to the club to find Bunny when she never comes back to the office ... in the end both join the Nudist club and find true Happiness and total relaxation. Fin

Something Weird Video has a complete collection of Wishman Films curiously all uniformly priced which means to me that their vault collection should be free like archive.org. She has an entry at wikipedia as well.

I loved it, not what I expected.

I don't consider this cheesecake, to me it wasn't intended to be titillating. Since it was made at the beginning of the sexploitation era, it shows a lot of breasts but no crotch shots.

I loved how the first two nudists introduced were Frank and Annette, I assumed they were making fun of the beach movies.

And those hairdos, women wouldn't go in the water because they didn't want to ruin their plastic sprayed do.

About the time this came out me & some friends found some Swedish nudist magazines someone had thrown out in a park. As a kid we thought it was an accident, but as an adult I wonder why the were left there... Those magazines only showed the nudist lifestyle, no sex. They weren't as titillating to the 10yo me as they were eye-opneing that people lived a completely different life style from what I saw on TV. I thought they were real...

This is a movie I have not seen yet and am looking forward to. I am a fan of sexploitation films, which by definition were films that showed cheesecake while pretending to be about something else. I am familiar with some of her mid-to-late sixties films and the famous Chesty Morgan films of the seventies, starring a woman whose breasts were as oversized as her fashion sense was dowdy. Doris Wishman freely admitted in interviews that she went into filmmaking without previous production experience and next to no knowledge of what she was doing. She was also mechanically inept to boot and left the camera operation and the editing to the people on her staff. This led to a style unlike just about any other director who ever made a film: a real original. Interested persons should check out Bad Girls Go To Hell, My Brother's Wife, and Indecent Desires for strange stories, made strangely, and with some really nice looking sixties sex starlets like Gigi Darlene, June Roberts, and Darlene Bennett. Sorry for the off-topic.

I found the point of view here to be more than a little ambiguous. The film seems to be advocating the nudist lifestyle, but the music and models are pure cheesecake! Only tits and butts are shown (though most of those are quite nice), so may be a bit disappointing for female or gay voyeurs. As in all bad movies, there are stretches of boredom in between the fun parts, but on the whole very enjoyable as a time capsule. C'mon, Zelda, get your clothes off!

There was life before implants

The aspect is wrong. Set it at 4x3 on your vlc or other player.
It is a nice 1961 movie.
Unfortunately I lost all my memories of the summer of 1960 due to circumstances of my life that removed portions of my memory, something like that genius scientist on the Fringe TV show. I wonder where they got the idea for that show?
Anyway, I guess my appreciation of this time machine back to the 60’s may exceed others approval for that reason.
I also have a healthy fascination for the naked female form.
There are quite a few sexy young nude females to watch in prolonged bare skin scenes and it has a bit of a story too.
I gave it a high rating so people looking for top rated movies wouldn't miss this one.
